, instructors have been slow to adopt current research and best-practices inteaching methods [1], including online and virtual techniques, mostly due to the concern thatsuch a hands-on and innovative subject cannot be taught or learned through a screen. Due to theCOVID-19 pandemic, and the transition to Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) [2], engineeringinstructors were forced to adopt new teaching practices, including technologies. This study tookadvantage of this opportunity by gathering data about the behavioral adaptations made byengineering instructors over the course of three semesters of the pandemic. The purpose of thisstudy was to understand the self-reported activities of engineering instructors during the COVID-19 pandemic, their perceptions of

Finally, theprovided evaluation criteria of the lab reports were studied using the same nine outcomes. Thelab report writing outcomes used in the study include 1) address technical audience expectations,2) present experimental processes, 3) illustrate lab data using appropriate graphic/table forms, 4)analyze lab data, 5) interpret lab data, 6) provide an effective conclusion, 7) develop ideas usingeffective reasoning and productive patterns, 8) demonstrate appropriate genre conventions, and9) establish control of conventions for a technical audience.

Furthermore, aneffective mentoring relationship can improve doctoral students’ research skills and productivity[11-14]. On the other hand, ineffective mentoring from advisors can lead to graduate students’negative mentoring experience, which in turn leads to detrimental career and psychosocialconsequences, such as missed opportunities for career networking and undermining of researchconfidence [15]. Although faculty mentoring has enormous effects on doctoral students’academic careers and confidence, no faculty is born a natural mentor. Unfortunately, facultyadvisors generally do not

In their personal lives, these technologies attempt to modernize friendships andintimacy in a more open, public manner [2]. In the professional world, efficiency, expandingproduction capabilities, and solving mundane tasks are some of the ways these technologies havebeen applied across domains [3]. However, there is increasingly less choice associated withinteracting with these systems. Users can opt into using some algorithmically

This projectwill be improved, repeated, and expanded with future groups of students.Introduction Since long before the first airplanes were built, the wind tunnel has been used to describeaerodynamic principles. The first known wind tunnel was built by Francis Wenham in 1871. Inthe subsequent years the number of wind tunnels and the facilities that housed them slowly andsteadily increased until the Wright brothers’ historic flight in 1903. The number of wind tunnelsin use took off, as it were, as their value in aerodynamic research became apparent according toAnderson [1]. Simply put, the wind tunnel is a tool used by engineers to study air flow. The original designof

Situative learning practices are beneficialacross many disciplines but of particular interest here by utilizing real-world datasets inprogramming courses [3-6]. This project looks to take that a step further by engaging thestudents in collecting those datasets through experimentation similar to that they will implementin future courses.

impact a teacher’s experience might have onstudent performance. The bulk of the value from this paper lies in this gleaned insight.Background/MethodsGrade InflationGrade inflation is a notoriously controversial topic within the field of undergraduate education.Some of the controversy stems from a lack of definition. Richard Kamber defines grade inflationas “a reduction in the capacity of grades to provide true and useful information about studentperformance as a result of upward shifts in grading” [1]. Grade inflation hinders the ability of thestudent to accurately assess their abilities and limitations; this is true for future employers as well[1]. Grades should not be confused as measures of effort, rather as measures of performance [2

Only recently have efforts been madeto further characterize the mental health and wellness in students across engineering disciplines[1]. One aspect identified as a prevailing factor included ‘feeling socially isolated’ and since theonset of COVID, our communities have been fighting increases in isolationism anddisconnection [2]. Rather than looking to further characterize the distribution of mental health, itis of interest of the authors to examine the degree by which our praxis can influence aspects ofsocial isolation.Two significant concepts that Vygotsky has
